Drunken brawl murder

Less than 10 hours after a 27-year-old youth was murdered during a drunken brawl between a group of friends in Bhayandar, the police have arrested Sandip Gavas for his involvement in the crime. The incident had been reported from an industrial area in the Goddev Nagar area of Bhayandar (E) at around 2.00 am on Sunday. The deceased has been identified as Achyut Chaubey (27), a local resident who owned a Chinese eatery in the region. Another youth Vivek Singh, alias Bunty, was seriously injured.

During a binge session involving four to five men, including the deceased and Bunty, the duo were repeatedly assaulted by Gavas with a wooden log following an argument over a petty issue. The assailant and other friends fled leaving Achyut in a profusely bleeding state which led to his death in the absence of timely medical help. The entire sequence of events which led to the gruesome murder, had been captured in the CCTV cameras located in the vicinity.

“We have arrested the accused who has been remanded to police custody until February 15, after we produced him before the court on yesterday,” said senior Police Inspector Ram Bhalsingh, who led the investigating team under the supervision of Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Atul Kukarni. A case under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) has been registered against the accused at the Navghar police station.
